The new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P and PGN-plus-E grippers

Now NEW with permanent lubrication in the multi-tooth guidance! Lifelong maintenance-free.* Guarantieed!

The new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P and PGN-plus-E grippers offer an improvement on proven technology. The three new features of the new pneumatic SCHUNK PGN-plus-P distinguishes by: improved multi-tooth guidance, permanent lubrication with permanent lubrication pockets, and maximum force for higher workpiece weights.

* Under normal, clean operating conditions.

The patented SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance. Proven technology Now even better!

The new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P and PGN-plus-E grippers are the result of more than 30 years of SCHUNK competence. They are based on an ingenious innovation strategy, which continuously expands proven basic components with highly up-to-date features. In 2000, SCHUNK acknowledged that the T-slot guidance that had been in use until then with force/ moment absorption needed to be improved. This was the moment SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance was born, which makes the SCHUNK PGN-plus-P universal gripper to the world's best gripper.

T-slot guidance. Conventional technology.

The generated forces and torques must be shouldered by two guideways. In the process, considerable load peaks can arise, which can lead to premature wear and loss in precision.

SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance. Patented technology.

The patented SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance redefines precision and durability in the SCHUNK PGN-plus universal gripper. Forces and torques are distributed to the guiding areas of several prism guides arranged in parallel. Therefore, the guides have a higher bearing capacity and ensure considerably better stability.

= up to 30% longer gripper fingers

= up to 100% higher finger load

New SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance.

The tried and tested guidance technology has been made even better! With the NEW SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance , the distance between the load bearing surfaces has been considerably increased.

The result: Higher moment loads can be accomodated and longer gripper fingers can be used.

= up to 50% longer gripper fingers

= up to 120% higher finger load

30 years functional warranty- The SCHUNK long life warranty

The patented SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance makes it possible to achieve the highest possible gripping forces, a large moment, and power absorption as well as precise handling in a reliable process. Only SCHUNK offers the unique long-life warranty* for precision, robustness and reliability throughout the full life of the PGN-plus gripper.

Pneumatic SCHUNK grippers with multi-tooth guidance have a 30-year functional warranty (applies for Germany only) in addition to a 36-month warranty, and at no extra cost!

PGN-plus-P technology

With the new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P , SCHUNK is raising the bar even further for pneumatically powered universal grippers. By consistently optimizing multi-tooth guidance, it is setting a new benchmark for the market. At the same time the PGN-plus-P profits from the unique range of SCHUNK accessories for virtually the entire range of conceivable automation applications.

Up to 50% longer gripper fingers - due to higher maximum moments.

The improved multi-tooth guidance enables the use of even longer gripper fingers for the same gripper size due to higher maximum moments, without overloading the guidance. Gripping with optimized interfering contours during handling tasks in confined spaces, is thereby made even easier.

Maximum life span due to lubrication pockets in the robust multi-tooth guidance.

Permanent lubricant pockets ensure a continuous grease supply.At the same time, it ensures that an even lubricant film is created rapidly, even with short strokes.

Higher force

The larger surface area of the piston in the same size gripper housing increases the grip force compared to the PGN-plus. Compared to the size of the gripper, heavier workpieces can be handled.

Maximum process safety.

The multi-tooth guidance enables a greater diagonal pull surface, and therefore a lower surface pressure, for process-reliable and low-wear transmission of power to the base jaw.

Our answer for flexibility: a variety of accessories.

Valves

Both SCHUNK micro valves in cylindrical design can be directly mounted on the gripper. This saves cycle time, cabling costs, and compressed air costs.

The gripping force of the SCHUNK PGN-plus-E can be quickly adjusted, safely and manually in four stages.

Maximum process safety.

The new multi-tooth guidance enables a greater diagonal pull surface, and therefore a lower surface pressure, for process-reliable and low-wear transmission of power to the base jaw.

Integrated sensor system

The control and power electronics are already completely integrated so that no space is taken up in the control cabinet. The 24 V gripper is actuated via digital I/O inputs. M8 plug monitors up to 2 gripping positions.
